Barclays PLC
2018 EU-wide stress test results
Barclays was subject to the 2018 EU‐wide
stress test conducted by the European Banking Authority (EBA), in
cooperation with the Bank of England (BoE), the European Central
Bank (ECB) and the European Systemic Risk Board
(ESRB).
Barclays notes the announcements made today by the EBA on the
EU‐wide
stress test and fully acknowledges the outcome of this
exercise. The stress test results in a reduction of Barclays
CRD IV Transitional Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") ratio to 7.3%
from the 2017 year-end position of
13.3%.
The 2018 EU‐wide
stress test does not contain a pass fail threshold. The
results will assist competent authorities in assessing Barclays'
ability to meet applicable prudential requirements under stress
scenarios.
The adverse stress test scenario was set by the ECB/ESRB and covers
a three‐year
time horizon (2018‐2020).
It is the first EBA stress test under the IFRS9 accounting
standard. The stress test has been carried out applying a
static balance sheet assumption as at December 2017, and therefore
does not take into account subsequent or future business strategies
and management actions. It is not a forecast of Barclays'
profits.
While the results of the exercise will constitute an input to the
2018 supervisory review process, Barclays' capital requirements
will primarily be informed by the BoE stress test, which is due to
be published on 5 December 2018.
Barclays' 30 September 2018 CET1 ratio was 13.2%, and Barclays
remains comfortable with its target CET1 ratio of c.13%, which is
currently 160bps above the expected end state regulatory minimum
level.
Barclays' Euro-denominated results in the EBA template can be found
at www.barclays.com/barclays-investor-relations/investor-news.html. The
standardised disclosure templates have been developed by the EBA to
help improve comparability and consistency between the stress test
results of participating banks. The templates include detailed
information on composition of capital, profit and loss, credit
risk, securitisations, risk weighted assets,
non-performing/forborne exposures and major measures and realised
losses in 2018.

Notes to editors:
The 2018 EU-wide stress test is a constrained bottom-up exercise
that provides banks with a common methodology and templates to
project in a consistent way the impact of common scenarios. The
adverse scenario stresses banks' consolidated balance sheet and
income statement over 36 months from 31 December 2017, based on
assumptions determined by the EBA. Among other things, these
assumptions are calculated based on 2013-17 balance sheets and
income statements, apply caps and floors and do not allow for
management actions. The stress test outcome also incorporates
provisions for now resolved significant legacy matters, such as
Barclays' settlement with the United States Department of Justice
in relation to Retail Mortgage-Backed Securities, and in certain
respects do not take account of impacts resulting from banks
undertaking meaningful restructuring and exits of business
activities.

Barclays PLC
2018 Bank of England stress test results
Barclays PLC ("Barclays") notes the publication today of stress
test outcomes for UK banks by the Bank of England ("BoE"). Under
the BoE's assessment, Barclays passed the stress test with a 8.9%
minimum stressed transitional Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") ratio
after taking account of strategic management actions including CRD
IV distribution restrictions. Barclays therefore comfortably
exceeded the stress test hurdle rate of 7.9%.
As a result, Barclays continues to target an end-state CET1 ratio
of c.13%. It remains Barclays' intention to pay a 2018
dividend of 6.5p, subject to regulatory approvals.
2018 is the first year that IFRS9 has been incorporated into the
stress-testing results. This non-transitional stress test will
evolve and be refined in future periods as IFRS9 continues to
embed. The BoE assesses banks' performance on a transitional basis
for IFRS9 but, for transparency purposes, has today also published
the stress test results on a non-transitional basis. Under this
assessment, Barclays' minimum stressed non-transitional CET1 ratio
was 6.5%, after taking account of the strategic management actions
in this year's stress test including CRD IV distribution
restrictions. As noted today by the BoE, the 2018 non-transitional
hurdle rate of 7.0% is hypothetical and subject to change in future
years.
The minimum stressed transitional UK Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3.9%,
after taking account of strategic management actions including CRD
IV distribution restrictions, also exceeded the 2019 transitional
stress test hurdle rate of 3.61%. The minimum stressed
non-transitional UK Tier 1 leverage ratio is 3.2%. The 2018
hypothetical non-transitional stress test hurdle rate was
3.25%.
The UK Prudential Regulatory Authority ("PRA") has also confirmed,
as part of its Individual Capital Guidance (ICG) and as
incorporated into this stress test assessment, that Barclays' CET1
Pillar 2A requirement has reduced from £8.4 billion in 2017 to
£8.3 billion in 2018. The decrease in RWAs from
£366 billion as at 31 December 2016 to £313 billion as at
31 December 2017 results in an increase from 2019 in the Pillar 2A
requirement expressed as a proportion of RWAs, from 2.4% to
2.6%.
Subsequent to the update to the Pillar 2A requirement, Barclays'
end state CET1 ratio target is currently 130 basis points above the
expected end state mandatory distribution restriction hurdle of
11.7%.
The BoE stress test results for UK banks can be found on the BoE
website at
